Viewing things from a pro-life perspective, why is
the nativity celebrated as Christ coming into the
world when he was already here on earth with us in a
physical presence since the annunciation? Shouldn't
there be more emphasis on the annunciation than on
the nativity since that is when Christ first came
into the world with us? Am I overrating the
significance of the annunciation over the nativity?
The way I see it, birth is a transition which is of
course significant, but less significant than the
beginning (or in Jesus's case, arrival) of that
which is being transitioned.

I think that when the feast days were arranged, the actual progress of the humanity of the
preborn Christ was not a concern for after all, if you recall. shortly after the Angel revealed to
Mary that she had been chosen by God to be the mother of His Son, she travelled to visit her
cousin Elizabeth whose pregnancy was six months along. From her womb JOHN leapt for joy
when Mary approached carrying Christ within her.
